According to news and blog reports President Obama is getting pretty angry about the situation in the gulf. I think he's angry because he's starting to see his Presidency spill into the Gulf of Mexico along with all that oil.

I don't want it to seem like I'm adding on to President's Obama's problems,but he should have taken a harder stance on these run away corporations from the beginning of his term.From the door he should have surrounded himself with people who were not afraid to kick some butt and not worry about the fall out afterward.

I thought the hole had been plugged? With cement, I heard, if I am not mistaken.

Maybe I am an Obama homer but I honestly do not understand how any blame can be aimed towards him or his administration.

The White House responded quickly to this emergency and if certain voters cannot understand the fact that his hands were tied from that point on, then they had zero intentions of re-electing him anyway.

They have been trying to plug it with cement but as of this morning they have not succeeded.

In the beginning I don't think anyone blamed Obama. But after a month of oil spilling into the gulf people are getting mad and wondering when Obama will move BP out of the way and have the Army Corp of Engineers take over.

As you know perception is more powerful than fact in politics. So once people get it into their heads that he hasn't or isn't doing enough that's going to be hard to overcome.

He needs to convince BP to stop dumping those toxic oil dispersants in the Gulf. He told them, and they had the nerve to say no like it was a suggestion.

If there is one thing about how he is handling this catastrophe, I see his not using the full extent of his power in this area as a his #1 weakness, followed by his announcing today that he takes responsibility for what happened. That lets BP off the hook too much.

Yeah, what the heck was that about? Lisa Jackson ordered BP to stop dumping the dispersant on Sunday night but they ignored her! I couldn't believe no one asked him about that at the press conference today.
